The files in this directory are a user-contributed package for LAMMPS.

The person who created these files is Axel Kohlmeyer (axel.kohlmeyer@temple.edu). Contact him directly if you have questions or for example scripts that use it.

This package implements a "fix imd" command which can be used in a LAMMPS input script. IMD stands for interactive molecular dynamics, and allows realtime visualization and manipulation of MD simulations through the IMD protocol, initially implemented in VMD and NAMD.

There are example scripts for using this package with LAMMPS in examples/USER/imd. Additional examples and a driver for use with the Novint Falcon game controller as haptic device can be found at: http://sites.google.com/site/akohlmey/software/vrpn-icms
